 Click thumbnail for a larger image. | Creator(s): Scott, Gwen Date: 1992 - Description: This structure is situated near the intersection of Ritchie Street and Suburb Road in Westbury Tasmania. The modest timber cottage was built in c.1850 on a five acre land grant No. 38, for a retired military soldier named Andrew Tynan. More than 160 five acre allotments were granted to former military personnel in this Westbury suburb known as Queenstown in that era. The men were obligated to do twelve days military service a year. The home was given to the military pensioners after seven years provided the conditions of their service were fulfilled. By the mid 1860's the dwelling was owned by Mr. John Connolly from the nearby Quamby Estate and occupied by Mr. George Watts. In 1875 Mr. William Mather was renting the cottage. In 1880 the building was unoccupied but still owned by Mr. Connolly. In recent years the chimney was removed from the structure and it was converted into a horse stable. This image was taken in the early 1990's from the south-western direction.
